Wright finished with 17 points (7-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 22 minutes Sunday in the Raptors' 140-138 double-overtime victory over the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
With Fred VanVleet (thigh) sitting out, Wright enjoyed an enhanced role on the second unit and reached double digits in the scoring column for the fourth time in six games. Though he's attracted some attention in deeper settings with his recent production, Wright probably won't warrant much appeal in shallower leagues unless VanVleet's injury proves to be a longer-term concern.

Wright will come off the pine Saturday against the 76ers, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Kyle Lowry (thigh) and Danny Green (knee) recovered from their injuries, Wright, along with Fred VanVleet, will head back to the bench. When in that role, Wright has averaged 5.8 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 16.5 minutes.

Wright will start Friday against the Cavaliers, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Due to an extensive injury report, Wright will enter the starting five for the second time this year. In his one prior start, he posted 15 points, eight boards, four assists and a steal in 38 minutes.

Wright contributed 15 points (6-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal across 38 minutes in the Raptors' 95-86 loss to the Nuggets on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Wright drew the start at point guard with both Kyle Lowry (thigh) and Fred VanVleet (back) sidelined, and he parlayed the opportunity into a productive outing. The young veteran's minutes are typically capped in the low 20s at most in his bench role, but he's shown the ability to generate solid production in the past when given sufficient playing time. Wright would presumably draw another start Wednesday against the Pacers if his aforementioned pair of teammates remain on the shelf for that contest, but the two days off between games offers at least one of them a solid chance of recovering sufficiently.

Wright will start at point guard in Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Eric Smith of Sportsnet 590 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, with Kyle Lowry (thigh) and Fred VanVleet (back) sidelined Sunday, Wright will get the start at point guard and should be in line for a heavy dose of minutes as a result. Lorenzo Brown is expected to operate as Wright's backup.

Wright was poked in the eye and went to the locker room during Tuesday's game against the Clippers, Mike Ganter of the Toronto Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear if Wright will return. If he misses time, Fred VanVleet and Lorenzo Brown could see extra run.

Wright had 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four rebounds, and one assist in 13 minutes during Sunday's 125-115 win over the Heat.
EDGE Analysis
Wright has seen 20-plus minutes only five times through 16 appearances thus far this season. He remains a versatile two-way player who can fill up a stat sheet in limited action, which is exactly what he has done in these last two tilts after scoring 10 points (on four-of-four from the field and two-of-two from beyond the arc) to go with three boards, three dimes, and one block in 19 minutes during Friday's win over the Wizards. With that being said, barring a trade or a bunch of backcourt injuries, the team's depth figures to limit Wright's fantasy appeal to deeper leagues.

Wright recorded seven points (3-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 14 minutes during Tuesday's 129-112 win over the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
Making his third appearance of the season, Wright continued to shake off the cobwebs and work his way back from thigh and hip injuries. Fellow backup guard Fred VanVleet (toe) missed his fourth straight contest, so Wright's return to the rotation comes at a good time. With that being said, the depth of the team might make it difficult for Wright to prove useful outside of deep leagues.

Wright (hip) will play Monday against the Bucks, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
With fellow reserve guard Fred VanVleet out, Wright should see the bulk of the reserve point guard minutes. Wright has only seen five minutes this season, but showed last season that he is a serviceable backup point guard, posting averages of 8.0 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 20.8 minutes.

Wright is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Milwaukee, but he's expected to play, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The designation looks to be mostly precautionary, as the Raptors are anticipating having Wright back Monday to add depth in the backcourt. Thus far, Wright has only been available for one game, in which he was limited to just five minutes of action.
